🌻 This is 40! 🌻

A little older, a little wiser and still absolutely winging it.

40 years of adventures, questionable decisions, big feelings, hard lessons and some pretty fu***ng incredible experiences.

I’ve learnt that life doesn’t always turn out the way you imagined. That happiness isn’t a destination. That growth is rarely comfortable and that sometimes the best thing you can do is just keep going.

I’m not exactly where I thought I’d be at 40, but I’m still curious, still adventurous, still laughing at inappropriate things and still finding magic in the smallest corners of the world.

Here’s to more adventures, more belly laughs, more wild places and a whole lot more living.

Chapter 40. Let’s fu***ng go.

Ok, today’s episode of Mel meets strangers off the internet 😂

Today I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Cathy’s garden and HOLY MOLEY, the native bees!

Everywhere I looked, there were native bees buzzing around, with almost every native plant covered in them.

Safe to say I was in my element. Nothing makes me happier than meeting like-minded people who are just as obsessed with creating habitat for our native wildlife as I am.

And honestly, what better way to spend an afternoon than talking plants, chasing bees and admiring someone else’s little patch of biodiversity.

A nighttime bug hunt through a cemetery? Right up my alley! 🕷️🌿

Last night I joined Inner West Council’s Urban Ecology Team and Dr Eliza Middleton for Creepers and Crawlers, exploring the fascinating invertebrates that call Camperdown Cemetery home.

The cemetery also protects a precious remnant of the critically endangered Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest ecological community, making it a pretty special pocket of urban biodiversity.

Such a wonderful reminder of the ecological value of our urban green spaces and just how much life exists in the places we often overlook.

Thanks for the invite mitchpkr

Went for a hike today and ticked another little beauty off my biodiversity bucket list. A metallic green carpenter bee male Xylocopa aerata 🐝

F**k, a lot can change in a year.

A year ago, I wrote about how I’d finally found myself. I’d gotten sober, gotten healthy and worked bloody hard to build a life I was proud of.

I thought the hardest chapters were behind me.

The last nine months have been some of the hardest of my life.

From the outside, it probably looks like one of my best years. I published my first book. Opportunities I’d only dreamed about became real.

But behind the scenes, I’ve been falling apart.

Little by little, I stopped looking after myself. I stopped exercising. I started va**ng again. After four years of sobriety, I drank. My mental health deteriorated to a place I never imagined I’d return to.

Things got dark. Really fu***ng dark.

And the hardest part has been watching myself become someone I don’t want to be. Reactive. Angry. Overwhelmed. Struggling to regulate my emotions. Sometimes barely recognising myself.

Then September came and my book was published. Something I’d worked towards for years.

Instead of feeling on top of the world, I felt like a fraud.

Because the sobriety, healthy habits and years of work that helped get me there felt like they’d fallen out from underneath me.

But struggling now doesn’t erase what came before. Those four years of sobriety were real. The healthier version of me was real. None of it was a lie.

I don’t have everything figured out. Not even close. But I know I don’t want to keep living like this.

And this isn’t just about sobriety, exercise or healthy habits. It’s about rebuilding my relationship with myself. Learning to trust myself, handle difficult emotions differently and take responsibility without defining myself by my worst moments.

I want to recognise myself again. To feel proud of who I am, not just what I’ve achieved.

I’ve spent years encouraging people to restore neglected ecosystems. Maybe it’s time I extended myself the same care.

So I’ve started Mel. For accountability, and because social media has a beautiful way of bringing your people to you.

I want to document the journey back to myself this time.

This isn’t a success story. It’s me trying to find my way back.

Again.

Not entirely sure if it’s a gift or a threat, but I’ll be sleeping with one eye open tonight.

Also, who is Naomi and what does she want from me?
